At any anime, comic or game convention cosplayers tend to attract a lot of attention. As such, there are a number of rules, informal and formal, that both cosplayers and their viewers should follow to make sure no one gets offended.

Many of them are just common courtesy. If you’re an observer, don’t take a cosplayer’s photo without their permission. If you’re a cosplayer, don’t show excessive amount of skin.

However, there’s one cosplay regulation seen frequently at Japanese conventions that some would argue doesn’t make very much sense: no cross-dressing.

This week’s Tune for Tuesday, “Monster Mash” by Bobby “Boris” Pickett, is an old-school classic, and one with a rather impressive history behind it. Don’t believe me? Watch Todd in the Shadows’ review of the song. You won’t be disappointed. Happy Halloween, everyone!

This week’s Tune for Tuesday, “The Cat Came Back” by Harry S. Miller, is a song I first heard as a child and today I’ve had the pleasure of teaching it to various people. Just…don’t pay too close attention to the lyrics.

This week’s Tune for Tuesday, “A Ghost’s Pumpkin Soup” from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, is one I have many fond memories of, and perhaps some of my friends would agree. Others, however, may not. Regardless, I hope you all enjoy it!

This week’s Tune for Tuesday, “Moondance” by Van Morrison, is one I’d been meaning to use for a while, but given the great weather today (at least in my book) as well as what month it is, I figured that now is as good a time as any. Enjoy!
